Update [2015-07-07]: Puppet module is practically done for hardening AWS Linux 2014.09, you can check it out here: https://github.com/proletaryo/cis-puppet

It’s been almost a year since I posted here. Work is very challenging nowadays…

The latest project that I’m part of is now dealing with financial services. Yup, this means a lot of security exercises that need to be done to comply with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards). I find these exercises challenging, a new lens that let’s you understand a lot of things and even makes you paranoid sometimes. IT Security is core – I learned a lot in this area for the past few months.

The beauty of OSS is you can always fork a project and Github is a wonder-tool! So fork I went… I’m already done with CIS Scored guidelines 1.x.x to 3.x.x — a few more to go. Once done, I’m hoping that I can merge this back to master if the original author will allow 🙂
